CINECA IRIS Institutional Research Information System

IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.

To achieve fully mobile communications, considering different environments and modern service requirements, a multiple-segment architecture is the most suitable to guarantee service continuity with acceptable performance. Handover (HO) procedures can be invoked either out of necessity (if the current network connection is going off) or to improve performance (if different bandwidth or quality of service is required). In this scenario, to provide uninterrupted communication services, efficient intersegment HO capability must be implemented. The architecture considered includes a satellite segment and a number of Wi-Fi hot spots. A mobile node (MN) can switch from a segment to other exploiting services of mobile Internet protocol (MIP). This architecture introduces great flexibility and ensures capillary coverage; it also strongly affects Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)-based application performance. To efficiently face HO consequences, particularly when the TCP runs as a transport protocol, an innovative protocol architecture based on cross-layer (CL) exchange of information is proposed. Analyses of TCP dynamics during HOs and the performance improvement introduced with the proposed CL architecture, evaluated through the network simulator Ns-2, are presented.
